Now that she's the official nominee, is anyone else excited about Kamala Harris's chances?

😂Dont be so deliberately fucking obtuse (or just plain fucking stupid?)! It's fucking implicit, given that it's a binary fucking choice between two fucking candidates, it's a perfectly valid fucking point to make. If you would prefer Trump, at least fucking own it! 🙄

Just seen some great news regarding the Jan 6 riots.

Because of the Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling, Judge Chutkin is now required to consider the Jan 6 evidence to determine what were presidential acts and what weren't. Which means she should announce early next week evidentiary hearings in the next weeks/months (before election) in which Jack Smith and the DoJ can publicly present all of their evidence on what Donald Trump's role was in the Capitol riots. Most of it has been unseen until now. There's apparently some real bombshells in the evidence from Trump's own inner circle.

So essentially it's a public mini trial to determine what charges will be brought against Trump.

This is great news for the American people who can really evaluate their Republican candidate and what he is really capable of doing when he doesn't want to relinquish power.

I don't know much about her but from the snippets I've seen she doesn't seem a good orator and wouldn't get me excited .
M incredulous a country the size of the USA can't find stronger candidates.

Stress of a group of rioters trying to overthrow the government where you feel the weight of the world and democracy on your shoulders, without the president saying a word to help protect you. Not really entirely unrelated possibly

Wow. This is absolute misogynistic disgusting crap and you should be ashamed of yourself. You do know that what Trump and Vance say isn’t gospel truth right? No wonder they are even in the race when people will believe anything they and their mouthpieces say.

In the last couple of weeks while trying to deal with the transition of power and make policy plans he should have entirely turned around the far right in the UK? Sure. People don’t just suddenly decide not to be racist thugs because there is a new government.

on the other hand a Trump presidency would bring them all out and legitimise them in the USA which may seep across and is not good

Then I am very glad you aren’t. There are enough people making choices in this way which makes zero sense

@Molly70 It pains me to say it when considering Trump, but there is a long, sporadic history of US presidents occasionally terminating treaties. It hasn’t caused much controversy.

It takes a 2/3 vote in the Senate to enact a treaty

Well NATO is by it’s inception

• an attack on one is an attack on all.

Is she a convicted fraudster?
Is she a repeat sexual assailant?
Has she ever tried to subvert democracy by asking officials to "find" votes for her?
Has she ever tried to subvert democracy by launching a violent mob on the White House when a vote hasn't gone her way?

No? That makes her better than Trump.

But the President could certainly decide whether or not to come to the aide of a European "ally", and Trump said he never would.

Again, if you're an American and think isolatitionism is the way forward I guess that's your prerogative, it just doesn't make any real sense for Europeans to want anything other than a Harris win.

Well, she was appointed by Biden to tackle the border crisis. She never went to the
boarder and then when asked if she had been to the boarder she said “no, I haven’t been to Europe either. I don’t understand the point you’re making” Just bizarre behavior from a senior politician

Specific examples?

Evidence please

Given how awful she has been as veep, no!
Have you not paid attention during the last 4 years?

It’s a moot point now anyway as he can’t unilaterally decide to leave NATO. He will need a 2/3 majority in the senate to enact that.

You're adding that - he didn't.

This thread is so embarrassing

All I know, as someone who lives in the US and can actually vote in this election, is that there was a very silent majority who didn't vote for Trump in 2020. Those people are still there but getting flogged with gas prices and high grocery bills and high house prices, just like the UK. My hope is that Kamala chooses the right VP running mate and those people stick to their 2020 guns. And Gen Z, the first generation to have school shootings as an actual worry in their minds on a daily basis, get out and vote also. And then, I'll be good with whatever happens.

Absolutely agree , repulsive and vitriol to be expected, they are like school children. Behaviour is appalling and hostile.

That's interesting, I'm trying to get my head round why people would vote for Trump and that makes sense.
I think I'm getting more liberal in my old age, I can see that stance taking root more with me when I was younger.
I was brought up Christian, with values of no kids before marriage for example.
I'd have been more "don't agree with abortion" back then, just don't have any kids, use protection!
Now older I realise that it's not always that easy for a myriad of reasons.
I think he has no clue, and also discriminates/alienates people.
Would much rather someone more tolerant of others "different" to themselves was in charge.

Why?
Genuine question
She seems fine to me.

How?

Evidence, please.
